Answer 2

Answer: 31/18

Explanation:

We are going to start by finding a common denominator for 8/9 and 5/6.

That common denominator is 18.

Rewrite:

`\sf{\cfrac{8*2}{9*2}+\cfrac{5*3}{6*3}}`

`\sf{\cfrac{16}{18}+\cfrac{15}{18}}`

`\sf{\cfrac{16+15}{18}}`

`\sf{\cfrac{31}{18}}`

As a mixed number :
`\sf{1\cfrac{13}{18}}`
